New York, July 6.-The temper OF the
street was again bearish this morning, and
the stock market was feverish but gcner-
ally weak throughout most OF the day.
There was considerably more activity dis.
played than on yesterday, and the business
was much better distributed, although the
great bulk OF the trading done was monopo-
liZed by six or eight stocks. A story was
circulated that the efforts OF the bears
were principally directed against one prom
inen, operator, which created somewhat
uneasy feeling.
The operators for decline lacked the
aid Of high rates for money, however, and
late In the day much better feeling was
developed and the rallies became more i'm
poftant. Considerable effect was had upon
the general list by the weakness In cotton
seed oil certificates, in which several stop
orders were uncovered and decline OF
nearly five points effected. The opening
was somewhat irregular, but generally
weak, though the changes from yesterdays
final prices were for small fractions only.
The market was active, but after a few in.
significant advances became decidedly weak
throughout.
There was a marked decrease in the
amount Of business done on all the rallies
except that Of the last hour, and after the
violent, although the feverishness continued
to be a marked characteristic OF the trading.
In the afternoon the strength displayed
by Western Union aided the better feeling
developed in the list, although New Eng
land again became conspicuously weak.
The market In the last hour showed In
creased strength, aud the close was steady
to firm, though quiet, generally at frac-
tlonal concessions from the opening figures.
